Newer macs do have right click; it's just the same button as left click, but in the right corner. That's true for trackpads and mice.

On some trackpads, a two-finger click is also a right click. I don't remember if that's set up by default though.

It's possible to configure this in System Preferences > Mouse / Trackpad.

In some cases, the right click might be disabled (although I strongly suggest enabling it; it's a bizarre aspect of macs that they sometimes don't have it enabled). If that's the case, or if you're using a very very old mac mouse without the option, you can hold the "control" key while clicking and that will work. (Note: that's the key actually called "control", not the Apple "command" key usually used for keyboard commands and comparable to the Windows 'ctrl' key.)

Of course there are also other ways to save the files such as clicking the link then File > Save, or sometimes you can drag them onto your desktop. But it'll be more helpful for you in the long run to be able to use right click

I'm not seeing any slider in design view!

Hi,

Thanks for the info the ctrl click works perfectly Cheers!!!

I'm not seeing any slider in design view could you please see what I'm not getting? globalglam.co.uk/GalleryMainMenu.php I place it just under the other images just as a test as I will have it's own page liking from the images above it!

Now I think I've down everything except adding my own images but first I wanted to test as it is! Are those image's linked from wiki's site? Do I replace the links with the directly/folder that I have my images?

There's a link to the simplegallery.js file in the demo page so you can do the CTRL+click thing to save it to your computer. That's the easy way of getting a JavaScript file. The other way is to make one yourself - again very easy, but this time just open a plain text editor (on mac I think its called TextEdit but you will need to switch it to plain text mode in its settings/preferences), copy in the JavaScript code and save it with a suitable file name and a .js extension.

Now that you have the simplegallery.js file, you need to link it to your web page - you've done that already with this line of code;

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="simplegallery.js">

so all you need to do now is to make sure that the js file is in the location specified in the src part if that line. When you just see the file name in the src (as in the code line above), it means that the web page and the js file are sat side-by-side in the same folder. That's a relative link path - the file is in a location relative to the web page that's using it. If you were to see src="js/simplegallery.js" it means that the js file isn't sat side-by-side with the web page that's using it - its now sat one level deeper, in a folder called "js". Does that make sense?

So when you view your web page, either on your computer or once you've uploaded it online, the js file always needs to be present and in the same location, for its fancy effects to be visible in your browser. So, for your current page setup you will need to make sure that the simplegallery.js file is uploaded to the same folder as your web page - that's where the script link is saying it is.

See how there's an extra / right at the start of the image path? That's actually telling the browser to start looking for the image from the root directory (and on your computer, that's likely to be where the operating system is installed), and that will be the case regardless of where the web page is.
So lets get back to relative paths and remove that beginning slash;

Code:

["images/GallerySlider2/galleryslider1.jpg"],

This is now telling the browser to look for your images, 2 levels deep - inside a folder called "GallerySlider2" that is in turn inside another folder called "images". In this case your web page would be sat alongside the "images" folder. So to get this to work, you need to make sure that there is an "images" folder sat alongside your web page, and within that there needs to be a "GallerySlider2" folder, with the "galleryslider1.jpg" pic sat inside of that.
